Welcome to the Datatel Data Security Program
Helping clients comply with the PCI DSS

The security of card processing is a top priority at Datatel. We have partnered with Trustwave to help our clients with easy-to-use Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance validation solutions. Trustwave is both an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) and a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) for the card associations.

PCI DSS was launched in late 2004 to unify industry security requirements for storing, processing, and transmitting cardholder data and encompasses the security standards of all the major payment card brands.

You are required to be compliant with the PCI DSS at all times to protect the cardholder data you handle daily. If you do not comply, your sensitive data - and your customers’ sensitive data - is at risk for compromise by a third-party. Failure to do so may also lead to fines levied by the card associations for non-compliance, and fees for costs related the breach, such as charge backs and card re-issuance fees.

To validate compliance with the PCI DSS as a Level 2*, 3 or 4 merchant, there are two steps.

Annual PCI DSS Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) - An approved list of questions from the card associations about the security controls on a merchant’s transaction network.
Quarterly Network Vulnerability Scanning - A remote scan of a merchant's transaction network (conducted by an ASV) to detect weaknesses in your external systems could be exploited by hackers or unauthorized third-parties. Merchants will receive a compliance report, created with data gathered from the questionnaire and the scan, which outlines actions required to address any vulnerabilities.

As a Datatel client you will have access to these steps for validating PCI DSS compliance through Trustwave’s TrustKeeper® solution. TrustKeeper is an online compliance portal, providing access to the SAQ and vulnerability scanning for merchants approaching PCI DSS.

TrustKeeper will provide you with a compliance report of your results, outlining any areas that require attention and remediation to secure your external-facing environment. You may need to remediate items in your environment before you can achieve compliance. Please also be aware that compliance with PCI DSS is an ongoing process, not a point in time, and your required diligence is necessary. Compliant quarterly scans and a compliant annual SAQ are required to maintain compliance.
